Study Notes
Information Age
- The 21st century has seen a rapid shift from traditional to a digital economy, similar to the Industrial Revolution that led to industrialization.
Early Information Age
- 1945: Fremont Rider introduced miniaturized microform analog photographs that could be duplicated for library patrons.
- 1965: Gordon Moore observed that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years, known as Moore's Law.
- 1980: Computers became smaller and less expensive.
Digital Revolution
- 1995: Nicholas Negroponte published "Being Digital", highlighting the similarities and differences between products made of atoms (physical) and bits (digital).
Media Types
Primary Media
- Newspaper
- Radio
- Television
Secondary Media
- Internet
- Satellite television
- Mobile phones
Tertiary Media
- A merge of primary and secondary media.
